While yes, its forked from MicroPython, saying it is just rebranded is almost like saying Ubuntu is just rebranded Debian.

The biggest difference is how they handle core modules... rather than having a per-port/board they have a common set of core modules. There are also a lot more of those modules and it seems to have a fairly robust set of hardware/boards that are supported.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't do a whole lot in either since the boards I work on are a bit resource constrained.

The other thing to note is that Adafruit is putting a ton of resources into CircuitPython, I see updates/improvements all the time from them in their git repo. The velocity in CircuitPython vs MicroPython appears to be significantly higher (and that by no means is a dig at MicroPython, I love their project and they have so much cool stuff going on).
We’d all like that, true, but look here:

https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/graphs/contributors

That’s one maintainer, not even full time according to his résumé. What you just described is multiple specialists and some supporting tools, so another way of looking at this is to ask how much value the IT world has gotten from sudo but not contributed back in support.

When something is this widely used, it’s easy to forget that the answer to who should do more isn’t the one person who actually steps up to keep it alive.
If that were the case, they wouldn’t have been granted.
I'd imagine it is a statement on the author's views on software copyright. Or perhaps they wanted to offer something to the world, no strings attached. I don't think the word slavishly applies here at all.
This is a brand new treatment. All things that are the product of cutting edge research and are difficult to get to market will be expensive.

I'm taking an orphan drug that was approved in 2002/3 and costs more than this per month and last I checked the company that developed the drug was still in the red.

This idea that drugs should be cheap and accessible the moment they are approved is incompatible with economic reality. You need a system with a profit motive so that many people and investors are motivated to invest their lives, careers and money in that market so we get progress year after year.

This is a trolley car problem. On one track are all the people you can save in the present by making something immediately accessible to all regardless of the economic reality of those that produced the drug. On the other track all the the people that you can save long term by having an economically viable industry that can continue making advances that save lives in perpetuity.

Sounds like a very smart person. Much of the value in the test is showing that the old revision fails it. If I were fixing this bug, first thing I would do is write the test and make sure the existing code fails. If it doesn't fail, that means I don't understand the problem yet. Then I fix the problem and commit both the fix and the test. I don't just discard the test, because it is valuable to know that in the future nobody re-introduces the exact same flaw (this regularly happens in open source projects).
Yes, system tables are just tables. And every time to create/drop a temporary table you've inserted/deleted a bunch of data from https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/catalog-pg-attribute.html. If you do so faster than it can vacuum, you're in for a world of hurt.

Jira's performance is absolute garbage. It's painful and embarrassing.

I'd use GitHub if my team were willing to do non-technical project management with it as well. I wish GitHub would add features for non-technical users on projects. It would be a huge win.

Literally just spend some time on some docs features and provide a view of projects that isn't centered on code for those users that aren't involved in the code.

For a reasonably technical user, you can make it work, except that the views just aren't built for them, so it's a lot of visual clutter that isn't necessary and holds the product back.

Been looking at Clickup since, like Jira+Confluence, you can integrate wiki/web documents with your project management tooling. I've found that this is a pretty critical feature. I've tried repeatedly to get folks to rally around Google Drive or a folder of Office documents, and it's just not the same as working in a single, integrated web experience.

I firmly agree that sharing passwords is bad, however I can't imagine a threat model where password sharing among multiple parties is more risky than giving multiple people sudo. As zests points out, practically there is no difference because anyone with sudo can change the root password, they are already root, so the auditing use cases is moot if the logging system can't distinguish between two users sudo sued into root at the same time.

Having multiple admins that need to be able to administrate a system might seem like another case where sudo simplifies things, but isn't that what the wheel group is for? Yes there is an M:N issue between administrators and root passwords and we all know that reusing root passwords across boxes is just asking to get pwnd, but if admins can already ssh into a user that has wheel on a system then that implies that there is another existing authentication system that surely could be used to provide the password in a centralized manner. There is complexity in such a service, but that is only required for the M:N case and if it has issues then it can be fixed once. Busted sudo? You have to push emergency updates to (checks notes) ... literally every EC2 image on amazon. If admin:server is 1:N then password manager, copy, paste, and cut sudo out of the loop entirely.
Well, the layout has them grouped into colored sub-bundles.
Core modules are a bit better laid out, meaning you will have a more unified experience across different dev boards. Additionally, there are more boards that appear to be supported, but don't quote me on it. Things like os/time/filesystem stuff act how you would expect running cython. IIRC the big selling point is anything that you can run on CircuitPython you can run in cython, whereas with MicroPython some of the OS and time functions act differently, so might not work without code changes.
Did you catch the part about Maddie? It started some hours ago, I think.

1. Someone said something about "Maddie"
2. Somehow someone else started saying things about "Maddie"
3. Next thing that happens is either people ask who Maddie is, and others keep saying various things about "Maddie"
4. Someone made /r/MaddieFans after that

Not really something useful, but it's some silly fun.

I'd like it if the project evolves somehow.
Well, it is known from the formal logic that one can deduce anything based on a false assumption. One can explain anything based on the God hypothesis. Therefore the hypothesis is wrong.
I have not read the book Science Fictions, but will comment that the core problem in academic science is the intense structural reward of telling “stories” rather than focusing on high quality data generation and robust causal models. A snappy story gets you a paper in Cell, Science, or Nature, a grant award, and promotion. That is the pressure driving many of the distortions.

In contrast, a decade-long effort to generate foundational data sets gets you a footnote or acknowledgement. Think Tycho Brahe versus Copernicus.

The imperative of generating snappy, and preferably simple series of stories is that scientists focus intensely on reductionist systems and neat little “mechanisms”. To get to mechanism, the modus operandi is to trim away fundamental system complexity. Complex state-dependent feedback systems get converted into sad but comprehensible cartoons. And we are surprised that findings do not replicate? The one phrase that makes me cringe in the biomedical literature is “necessary and sufficient”. In your dreams!

Yuri Lazebnik’s wonderful “Can a Biologist Fix a Radio” is a classic commentary published in 2002, well worth reading in this context. “Could a Neuroscientist Understand a Microprocessor” by Eric Jonas and Konrad Kording (2017, PLoS Comp Biology) is the update for all of you on Hacker News.

The current structure of science usually does not reward high quality persistent data and metadata. This seems antithetical to what we are usual taught about the scientific method. The reality is that doing data justice has been getting lip service from day 1. I still see little evidence of serious efforts in this regard (genomics being a welcome exception) since the true cost of data preservation and sharing is staggering.

A salutary final note from Richard Hamming, that I do not mean in any way as an excuse: “In science, if you know what you are doing, you should not be doing it. In engineering, if you do not know what you are doing, you should not be doing it.”

In both cases though high quality data/metadata are just as important—perhaps more so, than the big ideas.
I'm not one to lead the cancel brigade but you could have just said "some communities". There are plenty of white communities that frown on homosexuality so I don't know what is gained by citing demographics. Since there's no purpose in calling out race, but you did anyway, I can see how some might see this as an unprovoked attack.

I always want to reinforce that cutting edge computing systems and the defense department have always been bedfellows. The DoD isn't new to technology, even machine learning or reinforcement learning (The US Air Force sponsored the Dartmouth Conference on AI after all).
Under the US system, the surgeon has to press the patient to learn what operation they're going to perform, because the physical therapist / primary care doc / specialist doc isn't paid to communicate with the surgeon, but they're willing to guess the operation if the patient doesn't take great notes.
And yet these comments are not downvoted or dead. Just the claim of bias isn't evidence of bias. I would also confidently say, the nature of the comments you linked are very much different: I didn't merely stated "but the other side!1!!", but argued about the inherent power dynamics of HN's workings. Let me ask you, should my comment be flagged and downvoted?

The right has adapted a generalized "No U!" line of discourse, most prominent in the moral panic of "cancel culture". It's always based on the distortion of semantics and therefor false equivalency, ignoring context.

Please show me examples of actual arguments leaning politically left, which got upvoted and tolerated by the Hivemind. Please, try it yourself.

It is not both sides. There is a difference in intention and semantics.

I understand the intent to give a "hot take" here but it lands tone deaf for me, as least as far as many urban markets are concerned.

I know first hand what it was like trying to live in SF having worked for a household name tech giant, yet been forced to live in my roommate's dining room.

The "poverty line" in San Francisco is about $120k. A house in the sunset costs a million three or more and San Francisco does not even make the top 10 list for most expensive cities in the USA.

If you make $200k a year and live in one of these places, you had better be prepared for the reality that you don't make enough money to qualify for a loan for the shittiest house in town. That makes you effectively poor not rich no matter how extravagant your salary may sound.

This is not some over stated hyperbole. If you make $200k, there are currently 6 homes in SF that you can afford to purchase (assuming you had the down payment). They come with descriptions like this one:

"Must purchase sight unseen. Currently occupied by a family member who is not giving access. This is a true contractor special and puts the word fix in fixer."

When that trash fire is your best bet you're not going to feel like you are "rich".

By contrast, the poverty line for Huston is $25k and $200K would allow one to live like a king. Here is a house in Huston for the same price as the shithole in SF:

I know there’s some half decent support for ESP boards with MicroPython, is that also the case for Circuit? Getting Adafruit gear in Canada is prohibitively expensive in comparison unfortunately, as much as I’d like to support the creator.
Huh. For a long time there was no autovacuum in Redshift and AFAIK this was never a problem for us. I wrote our VACUUM script and it would never pick up system tables. Maybe Redshift does something differently.

I will take this opportunity to highly recommend UNRAID. You can use an old computer, add in some internal hard drives, and boot it off a USB stick.

Drives can be added or subtracted at any time so the system grows as your data grows and unlike traditional RAID you can mix and match drives of different types and sizes. Because it is not a real RAID implementation you can pull out any data drive in your array and read the files residing on that drive in another system. Data is protected against drive failure by single or dual parity drives and using SSD's for caching is even supported.

For anyone that is mildly technically inclined and enjoys DIY solutions, I would recommend at least checking out UNRAID before purchasing a Synology NAS (or similar).
Are we to believe data that comes direct from the Chinese communist party without second guessing it? I am not that naive.
I have a Synology single drive NAS it works great (OK CPU is underpowered). I have primary copy on my PC. Second copy on NAS. And NAS backs up to cloud (AWS Glacier). Multiple drive NAS have the redundancy and speed but I really dont need that, the single drive is cheaper. Every few years I'll upgrade PC drive and give my old HD to my Dad as a just in case backup.
In another kind of market I can just enter the market. If the price of chairs goes bananas because someone has decided to buy and hoard all the chairs, I can make chairs, therefore increasing supply and restoring a normal price.

In the stock market the number of shares of each issue is fixed, so that doesn't work. This is why the short side is important for price finding. They inject supply into markets even when the long side is trying to manipulate the price up.
Great teardown. Just hack in a switch already.

There are plenty of people that care about convenience. Pianos are generally tuned to equal temperament. If that's what you're saying sounds good to humans, why bother with all the fancy stuff?
They essentially operated it at cost with themselves as the main client.

As is often the case with internal business units operating as cost centers and not forced to be externally competitive, they attrition over time and become less attractive vs external alternatives which competed and improved over the same time.

I suspect this is the case here and after 15 years they calculated it would be more efficient to have it run externally. UPS already uses TFI for a lot of these needs and the deal sees them continue to do so for the next 5 years.

It's not uncommon for businesses who own their building to sell the building to a real estate company and lease it from them when they can better allocate that capital for growth.

I bought an Ergo Dox a couple years ago. It was by far my most expensive investment so far (due to exchange rates and import taxes) but it was a complete game changer for me.

As much as I was sold on it, a part of me still thought I was being duped into buying something that wouldn't really help me in any way but I'm so glad I was wrong. Typing on the Ergo Dox feels like a completely different experience from regular keyboards, because it fundamentally is. It's a keyboard that adapts to my body and arms, as opposed to the other way around which is the (unfortunate) norm.

I mean, it's literally in the name: Pluggable Authentication Module. It's a very good idea to expose a common interface for user authentication to hide the vagaries of the underlying authentication mechanisms.

>JavaScript disabled by default.

To ignore one of the pillars of the modern web seems silly to me. I understand that a lot of sites have become bloated and resort to chunking in JS, but I disagree that JS is used as just seasoning on top of a website.
For the temp file issue, there's the common pattern of creating a file and unlinking it right away while keeping an open file handle. It's unfortunate that there's not a version of creat() that takes a path to a directory (for determining on which fs to create) but doesn't link the file, plus a version of link() that takes a source file descriptor instead of a source file.

If extended to support non-file fds, the link function might also do some interesting things, like have TCP connections show up in the virtual file system, similar to Unix pipes.
